Yikes! How has a whole week gone by without me posting?! Trust me, I have been keeping busy.<\/p>\n

I was babysitting for my grand-dog for a week while my daughter was out of town. Baxter<\/a> kept us all amused for 5 of the 6 days he was with us. Then he got bored and we (ok, I) got cranky. One of my tasks while he was here was daily posts to his blog. I actually enjoyed that task, but guess I wasn’t keeping up with mine at the same time.<\/p>\n

I did get weaving accomplished, too.
\n\"Handwoven<\/a>
\nStill working on Tammy’s<\/a> hand painted bamboo-cotton blends, I made four handwoven scarves in a colorway she calls Moccasin. \u00c2\u00a0Nice earthy colors. \u00c2\u00a0As is common for me, each of the four scarves is a bit different, although they all have the same warp. \u00c2\u00a0On the left, I used a 100% bamboo yarn in coral as the weft. \u00c2\u00a0With the variegated background, the final effect is somewhat tapestry-like. \u00c2\u00a0And that scarf is now about 85% bamboo and 15% cotton.<\/p>\n

The middle scarf has the same warp and weft. \u00c2\u00a0Woven in a diamond twill, the same pattern as the one with the coral bamboo, the weave pattern pretty much disappears in this one.<\/p>\n

On the right is a tabby handwoven scarf with a solid tan weft. \u00c2\u00a0Although the tabby makes it a bit less flexible than the scarves woven in twill, \u00c2\u00a0I like the simple, natural look of this one a lot. \u00c2\u00a0Perhaps the best.<\/p>\n

\"handwoven<\/a>The final scarf on that warp is also handwoven in a tabby, this time with a solid medium weft. I made this one into an infinity scarf. I really like the flexibility of the bamboo cotton and how well it twists around my neck.
